Work-in-progress ...

-
Magama Cannon, so nice!
really good ideas, congrat
-
Impressive!
How did you make the Death Rockets?
Edit:
Alternatively, how about these?

So nice andy, I did not know that reference. Thanks
-
Difficult to tell from the one photo, but perhaps tipping the launcher so the long bit to the left of the wheels is pointing at the sky?, with the rocket near the start of the launch rails?
I think the Eureka Hellmaw cannon comes with 6 crew, which would be difficult to fit on a single 40x20mm base. So use a couple of the crew with one of the Pendraken launchers? I might give it a try :)
-
I like them.
The death rockets make me laugh a little though- I can just imagine the dwarf lighting the fuse, running, and hoping it lands somewhere near an enemy (I can't picture the little dwarf aiming the giant rocket in a meaningful way). I've always though Chaos Dwarfs, like their greenskin slaves, should have a funny element.
-
I thought those were Warhammer Empire rockets from the plastic kit...
-
Fabulous ! Thanks for sharing. This army will be really great. What type of units do you plan to do after that ?
-
Many thanks. The rockets are from the WHFB Empire helblaster kit. The Pendraken ones look interesting; perhaps they'd be good for a Cathay list? Next up for painting are Hobgoblins on foot & mounted (Copplestone Orcs), then Black Orcs on foot & mounted (GW Orcs), and finally the CDs themselves (Eureka).
-
So, no longer a work-in-progress ...
Infantry units first.
-
... and cavalry. Plus new character.
-
Very nice! Always great to see new progress on an army, especially a rarer one like CD. =0
-
Great indeed. Those dwarves are from Eureka, aren't they?
-
Thanks.
Yes, the CDs are Eureka but I only used the ones with fur coats plus a few blunderbusses. The other Eureka minis - especially those with cutlasses - look bit too 'pirate' for my tastes. Hobgoblins are Copplestone. Black Orcs are GW. And the Orc Slaves are Kallistra.
Have played a couple of games with the army and it's a bit odd. Half of me wants to play them like defensively like Dwarves, whiile the other half errs towards a Chaos 'up and at 'em' approach ...
-
I really like the global realisation.
Maybe figs and bases are a littile bit too easily confonded. But otherwise, really great.
-
Impressive!

Well I finally got around to making these, using the JP27 launch rail and rocket with some large artillery wheels from Pendraken.

Whilst we're on the subject of Chaos Dwarves, these are Magister Militum's FOG301 Goblin Bolt Throwers, more than usable for the Chaos Dwarves.
Note that MM's website says you get 3, but the pack I got had 6 in, each with 2 crew. Perhaps they intend you to put 2 on a base.
With just 2 crew on a 20x40 base, it looked a little empty, so I added some spare GW Goblins and figures from MM's Goblin command pack.
-
I have decided that I am going to add some more Hobgoblins and Black Orcs to this army. In part to push it up to 3k points, but also because - with some extra bits and pieces - it will allow me to have an O&G army. Here's some of the work-in-progress.
-
Looking good- and I am definitely stealing that Dragon Ogre idea. I didn't know those metals were so 'small'.
-
Thanks. Took some careful positioning to get it so that the two Shaggoths can stand next to one another but they're definitely a decent fit for a WM base.

Here's a nice Death Rocket proxy:

Not a bad price either. I might be rejigging my Death Rockets stands...
